Don't you all hate it when you get into a kind of depressing
phase in life? It happened to me during the last two days.
It's the kind of time where you just don't want to do
anything, or better still, be with your friends, drink a
beer with them and watch tv all evening. No talking. Just
their presence and something to focuse upon (i.e., the tv)
:)

I'm glad it's over!

You know, I figured last year that a man must go back to
it's roots in order to feel better. I like to be in the
company of other human beings, I like being outdoors, I play
guitar, and I relax. Hmmmmm... Ok, back to my regular
stuff!

I downloaded the ssh protocol from ssh.com two days ago and
didn't manage to configure it. The Readme file wasn't
helpfull at all and when I tried to run it I got an error
message that said I was running a pirated version of the
protocol. (I was trying to connect to shell.sourceforge.net)

Anyone owns a project on sourceforge and would like to help
me out on this? After all, I'm still a newbie in the linux /
open source world.

Hmmm... Seems like I have lost my apprentice status! I
didn't earned it, anyway. At least it'll be an extra
motivation for me to push forward into the realm of open
source. But it's kinda hard. I mean, I work all day long in
front of a computer, spliting my brain in half trying to
figure out a fix for some nasty bugs. The last thing I want
to do when I get home is to open my computer.

But it's calling me... Oh, the marvellous song it puts in my
head.

You see, I realized last week that to be succesfull in the
field you must put some hard work, learn things that you
wouldn't learn otherwise, create something new.

Aaah! What a great weekend I've just had. Nice weather and a nice hiking trail. What more could I ask for?

I just realised that MS windows doesn't support the ssh1 protocol and I need it to log into my shell account at
sourceforge in order to create my project homepage. I'll have to wait 'till this evening to get on my linux box and do
it all from there.

I'll hopefully start a new project tonight. I've been
thinking about it for quite a while now and tonight we be a
good time to start. It's like a tron game. Well, it is a
tron game.

It'll be programmed in c++ on a linux box using xlib and
openGL. I plan to learn a lot about the free software
licenses and game programming in general. When this is done,
I'll update the game to 3D, thus getting into more advanced
openGL programming.

Meanwhile, gotta go get some more coffee. Corel is shipping
beta 2 version of CorelDraw 10 and I've got a lot of bugs to
fix... sigh! :)

See ya.

markup better than the original parser.
